Our goal is to attract, motivate and retain valuable talent and to develop and reward high performing employees.
At Gordon Food Service, our goal is to attract, motivate and retain valuable talent and to develop and reward high performing employees. As a pay for performance company, our goal is to pay employees competitively in the markets where we compete for talent. In setting compensation levels and increases, GFS considers the competitive market, the relative value of each position to the Company, individual performance through the Performance Management Process, and individual qualifications and experience. The elements of the total compensation program include base salary and incentive pay opportunities.
The Company recognizes the effort of each employee and the contribution each makes to the Company’s success. To live out the GFS Cornerstone Values of “Everyone Is Important”, “Rewards for Performance”, and “Philosophy of Sharing”, GFS offers annual merit increases for many positions, as well as other types of bonuses and incentives specific to an employee’s job. For example:
Many positions are eligible for a discretionary annual merit increase. Merit increases (if approved) are effective the first week of each calendar year and paid on the corresponding pay cheque based on payroll. Employees hired during the fourth quarter calendar year will not be eligible for merit consideration until the next annual merit cycle the following year.
Most leadership and professional positions are eligible for a discretionary annual bonus. Annual bonuses for eligible employees are calculated based on fiscal year scorecard results and are paid in early December if approved by the Company’s Senior Leadership Team. Employees hired on or after the fourth fiscal quarter (late July / early August) will not be bonus eligible until the following fiscal calendar year. Bonuses are prorated based on Company performance, time in position, and applicable scorecard achievement.
In addition to an hourly pay rate, our GFS warehouse team members may earn additional shift differentials, incentive pay, and other bonuses.
Pay varies based on location, driver type and employee performance.
Our sales positions offer a broad mix of guaranteed salary, commission, incentives, and bonus opportunities.
Employees are paid on either a weekly or bi-weekly schedule depending on location.
We have the best team in the industry, and we’re always looking for ways to help make sure our team members understand all the great benefits available to them—beyond just take-home pay. We provide personalized Total Rewards Statements annually to give an overview of all compensation and benefits provided by the company and elected by the employee. It includes take-home pay, health and life benefits, profit sharing and retirement plan contributions, and more.
